Ok, anybody else feel Malinga's bowling is flawed? If you saw the last ball he bowled at WIs tailender, he literally threw the ball at the batsmen, nothing of it felt like bowling. I hope ICC revises his bowling style.

yaa thanks to the ICC allowing the angles, they have virtually condoned the throw balling.
so basically if you have a defect from birth due to which you can't straigten your arm, its ok with ICC.
thats the case with him and murli

Don't think malinga's action has anything to do with angles he has an slinging action - perfectly legal.

Only thing is why he did not appear on international scene before, as my action resembles his but the sad part is that a budding bowler like me was thrown out from bowling cause friends/foes thought i was throwing

Yep it has to be

Lol...Malinga's bowling action is Totally Flawed ... According to ICC u can bend ur arm by 15 degrees , whereas Malinga's Arm Bends way beyond the 15 degree limit ! In short ICC and their Rules Suck !

A bowler can sling to a degree where his arms dont go below a level where his arms wud b when extended sideways parallel to the ground, lest it would be termed underarm bowling which is banned from the modern game after our coach disgraced himself and his brother using it.

Ofcourse Malinga can sling and its fine....
Also his arm does bend but by how much is debatory as I dont think he bends it all the time...
The aussies where aghast seeing his action...
They kept saying they couldnt see where his arm came from and had trouble sighting....

So India win. But kudos to England for not giving up till the last moment, they lost, but with some dignity afterall. If they had scored around 170ish, they could've easily won this.
And that tells India really needs to improve its batting now for upcoming matches.

Lol.. when India Bowled them Out for 125 I was Like... Whaoo India owned eng today , But after watching India's Batting I can only say They Went Lucky ! Like Param Said Had england Posted 50-60 Runs More and This Match would have been a Different stroy !
